Everything close by, little space

Verzetsheldenbuurt I has everything within walking distance: supermarket, doctor, primary school and station are all within a kilometre, good for a 9.5 on amenities. That is the neighbourhood's highest score and immediately its most misleading one, because the rest of the picture is bleak.

Property values are far below the national median, the share of high incomes is about half the national figure, there are more low incomes than average and the social assistance rate is more than four times the national one. Every component points the same way, and the wealth & income pillar sinks to 3.2.

On safety it is violence above all: it occurs almost twice as often as in the average Dutch neighbourhood, and theft and vandalism also rise above the midpoint. Only burglary is exactly on the national median.

Frequently asked questions

Is Verzetsheldenbuurt I a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Verzetsheldenbuurt I comes out at 36 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is more than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. One caveat: the figure counts per person present, not per resident. In a neighbourhood with many visitors — a centre, a station, a shopping area — it therefore comes out higher than residents experience. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Verzetsheldenbuurt I?

In Verzetsheldenbuurt I the police recorded 118 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (36 per 1,000) is not simply that count divided by the number of residents: we count residents plus workplaces, so a shopping street or station is not unfairly penalised, and for small counts we pull the figure towards the national average — otherwise a single incident would make a small neighbourhood look unsafe.

How is the grade for Verzetsheldenbuurt I calculated?

Verzetsheldenbuurt I scores 4.2 as its total score. That grade is a national position: we weigh five equally heavy scores — safety, amenities, wealth & income, quiet & nature and families — and see where Verzetsheldenbuurt I lands among every neighbourhood in the Netherlands. So it is not the mean of the five grades, but a place in the queue. All from open data published by CBS and the police.
